Lucid Thursday
C U Next Friday
Lucid's new persona is gonna be the down to earth "Next Friday" who believes in the reality of continuous time and the existence of history.
We complain a lot about paying a 30,000 docking fee
I party with some slightly dirtier types, and learn that an entire planetoid of miners and scientists and etc have all been fired by Lazarus Corporation
automated security, maybe i can hack it
theyre asking us to head in and try to dig up some dirt s they can get revenge.
Corporate espionage, detective work, etc
FASCISTS in WILD SPACE? Its more likely than you think.
After a Pariahan front corporation lands to survey as well, we investigate
6 person operation
it would take a long time to figure out more
looks like they weren't expecting a fight, doesn't mean they're aren't ready tho
It doesn't appear to have weapons, and it looks to mine overall in design
same kind of ship as Peter's though, so it's been modified
The attack on Veii
Sveka Arendtz
Thanks to our successful lobster based blackmail, we get fed the attack plan on the town. 2 Type 777 Unmarked container ships each carrying 6 containers dropping death squads in 5 days ish. Transports are scheduled to arrive on the 20th. There will be 100 to 120 personnel.
Can we booby trap the standard jump gate they will be arriving through? It could likely cause harm to innocents. perhaps we could
Could we sell them out to some pirates and make it clear we have no interest in the booty?
The city has mustered up about 25 people. we have armed them with the arc field rifles fr0m the mercenaries we took down.
Veii itself is only a couple hundred, maybe a thousand people. We ask around the local towns
Lucid does a mass ping to the planet, and is able to rustle up 4 more platoons
Benat educates the platoons about Guerilla tactics
We suggest the noncoms run for the hills.
Astrid manages to find a pirate ship to help out in fucking these fools up
We recruit Biggs Shitto to help with the engineering
The Journal Entry’s title
Lucid and Benat pick out a piece of junk from the ship, a comptoner ,which we will claim to be a Cond-toner, which Tones the condensation, increasing the condensation efficiency by 13%. (An ice cream maker)
She wears a black turtle neck and jorts, trying to get a Elizabeth Holmes typa look. Like if Elizabeth Holmes cut her jeans so short that you can just barely see her butt cheeks. Peter is her lawyer, and Alanna is the accountant. We are going to sell this product to Vapetech to try and scope them out, and hopefully distract them from Benat's infiltration. Alanna is in a business Skant.
"We don't do appointments"
"Considering the conditions under which we left our previous arrangement, we weren't quite able to call ahead and set an appointment as such."
We are told to wait 2 hours for our meeting, and we retrieve some shitty soy-caf.
While we are there, Peter uses jack of all trades to do a spot of Recon.
Lucid tries to do a rousing explanation of her device, but unfortunately they did bring the engineers into the meeting, who ask some very good questions that lucid fails to answer meaningfully. But she does at least convince people in the room that she believes her own shit. A ridiculous Nepo-Baby essentially. They are escorted politely out, and Peter is able to get a good look at all of the positions and places for Benat's infiltration.
Benat crat on his roll and is doing fantastic. At the computer core, he called Lucid up for some remote IT support. And she fucks it. He barely escapes with terabytes of lobster porn. We plan to blackmail the guy who had it to prevent the cannae clause.
We send him an email from [email protected] threateneing to expose him. We attach a video of lobsters boiling. these lobsters have the distinct knotch in their tail.
On second thought, Benat does recall seeing a fish tank in the quarters. With lobsters. And crabs. And shrimps.
The Journal Entry’s title
Alana rode in with Benat and Aiden
Lucid's electronic sensors skills allows them to avoid a second round of ambush on their faux vaporateor delivery.
Two bolts go off an completely vaporize the first guard vehicle.
There are two armed skiffs and 2 extended body air rafts. Aiden says "THEY HAVE A GODDAMN PLASMA CANNON?"
the extended body air rafts would be suitable for the theft of vaporators. Lucid's going to try and drop onto one of these to destroy it and make it inoperable. maybe also find some identifiable information in the process?
Danger Droid is dropped onto the eastern armored skiff, doing 8 points of damage to it and landing on the side of it, taking 4 damage. A horrible noise rings out through the vehicle.
Droid is surrounded by assholes with swords, they slash right through the droids armor
but droid turns around and thrusts a manipulator into the vehicle nearby, looking to further disable it. IT is still capable of shooting, but Lucid has destroyed it's mobilization abilities.
Peter ends up firing big nuclear gun at the skiff closer to Lucid's droid. far more than just the 3 hits it had left to spare.. She is fuming.
Aiden got cut in half Darth Maul style, so we are putting his top half into stasis. We left his ass and balls behind.
We take a look at the one remaining skiff. There was a communication Pad inside. Lucid snatches it and starts looking through it. Theres a lot of raider shit in there, but theres a contract from "Vape Tech" contracting Raul's Raiders. Vape Tech are the people who make the vaporateurs. Paying and arming Raiders to hit their caravans. They also provided the caravans times and locations. One more clause, "Cannae" protocol, raiders need to report back after being put off, or else the city will be burned down in 3 days. It's going to be liquidated.
Alanna looks at the contract and determines they're trying to indenture the colonists of actium. The Cannae clause is a show of force when the people try to stand up against the raiding.
We have definitely wiped out this particular gang. but Vape Tech is still going to send their paramilitary squad to liquidate Vae.
So we call Vape Tech and we successfully convince them that we are Raul's Raiders and have successfully done the hit. We are given information on the next hit to hit.
Maybe we go to their headquarters to try and scope them out.
The Journal Entry’s title
We get back to Byzantium without getting into shit, journalist in hand.
another week and a day have passed, so Lucid finishes her book about electronics remote ops.
Aidan becomes an almost demeaning/insulting sort of host at a host cafe. Genevieve pays us 250,000 credits, which is to be deposited into our gas fund. We pick up 5 tonnes of flash drives in New Raqqa for Actium
On Actium I learned that theres been a raid of vaporators in a small town. We want to check out the site where they were attacked, we should investigate it secretly. We are going to rent a vehicle, and Lucid selects yee yee ass outfits for the whole crew. 10 credits per person, except Lucid's set will be somewhat more flashy, but not so far as to undermine the intention of flying under the radar.
Lucid's suit cost her 100 credits, so the shopping was 130 total
To decide where to land our ship we have to do math and science about super earth and distance of the horizon. We take the big ship to just out of eye sight of the site, and take our rented vehicle from there to the site. The raft will then take about 30 minutes to reach the site.
Lucid/Droid stay with the ship as the men go to check out the site. Benat has a large poncho on on top of his flak jacket and desert suit. He has his Gauss Rifle with him.
Peter is "just the driver" so he has aviators and a fringe jacket that trails in the wind, also motorcycle gloves.
Aidan has more of a brown leather jacket.
On the site, we find some armoured trucks, pretty damaged, and another vehicle that might be fixable, with an open bed.
We are in a rocky area, fewer sand dunes. I think it's that one set of rocks near hollywood. Armoured trucks were hit pretty nasty. Don't see any bodies. Only obvious blast marks are on the armoured cars.
Aidan takes a closer look at the blast marks, and doesn't find any more. He determines that it was more of a pin point weapon than artillery. Very precise violence. could be TL 5 or TL 18.
Benat investigates the direction of the attack, where they might have attacked from etc. They were attacked from the South, as they were heading East
Benat tries to look at for tracks but fails to figure anything out.
They go to look for the attack spot in the south. They ambushed from within a narrow canyon? In this new location, we get the vague sense that they headed north. We don't see much in the way of vehicle tracks. there are some foot prints, but ground was dispersed by an air craft or grav vehicle, which went north from this location, but could have gone any number of locations.
Benat looks for shell casings, doesn't find any.
Our plan from here, we want to go back to town and speak to this guy who had his vaporator jacked, and see about arranging for a decoy vaporator drop so that we can be a part of his delivery team. in the meanwhile we will speak to other unhappy vaporator customers. information might be leaking about vaporator orders and deliveries from the downstation.
The Journal Entry’s title
Time to extract some journalistes, travelling on someone else's transport, which means leaving shit behind. Thankfully I am allowed to bring my "Rescue Unit"
We are travelling with a private courier company, who's mandate is travelling between rivals in the sol sector engaged in a cold war.
The journalist we are trying to extract is in the process of trying to self deport, or we can scoop her up and help her out.
We send a message to the journalist saying "We are friends of Gen" There is a lot of tension in the street.
She responds "Follow the tracking protocol" and our device starts wibble wobble in a particular direction. Very subtle device. it vibrates
We have 3 or 4 days or so until our ride leaves without us.
The device is sending us into the wilderness. Eurasian Steppe type of environment. "You get the impression there aren't a lot of large trees" lots of great large plains and grass lands, native herders keep sheep like animals, khagan ovis. we get this information from space wikipedia. the native peoples are the Arush.
"There's no wifi out here!" Lucid complains as we are lead to the mountains.
We start looking for some indigenous folks we can befriend. Some of the kids enjoy Lucid's chewing gum. we are able to get some directions from them.
We have met the journalist, Valenti before the end of the day, where they are residing in a yurt, living with a local family, who they seem to know.
Valenti pokes their face out of the yurt, and is visibly relieved to see us, who do not look like customs officers.
Benat Peter and Aidan take watch over night
Dice Rolls
all clear!
Lucid is able to get a fake id for Valenti to enter the city, but when you enter the city, they scan your face and check it against a database, and not against the ID
Benat and Aidan are gonna be up to their waist in waste to get valenti in through the sewers. Lucid and Peter greet the three of them with fresh pants and socks and air fresheners for our smeely friends. we walk another half kilometer to return to our ship where we have showers and what not.
The Wood Trade
We trade some wood around, and arrive in byzantium.
Peter's booty call get's us a job doing some extraction which is pretty cool. We gonna fly out and yank out some sources of a journalist friend of geneveive
You See Where it Goned Wrong?
Danger Droid slides into the room, takes the suppressant from Aidans hands and slams it into the bitches thigh. philosophical debate regarding Old Yeller commences. Danger Droid also helps Benat back onto his feet for the debate.
We half a Day and a half, and while psionic suppressants aren't expensive, they also aren't widely available.
"I really don't want to shoot this old lady."
"Okay watch this-" Aiden puts her into permanent animation.
"That's what she gets for insulting my quesadillas."
Y3773R is the name of a robot in a story that had to be recalled.
the one where we wish we had psi-detectors
Barbour is nasty and sooty. We pick up ome passengers at a snooty whiskey bar.
They're socialites, trying to get to her estranged husband's funeral, and collect on the estate
The old lady starts suffering jump sickness big time, barfing n all that. Her son is refusing actual medical treatment or restraints
she starts leaving her room at night and floating around. her face is doing some supernatural shit and it is running's aiden up the walls.
Aiden says we'd better shoot her. So he goes on Old Yeller watch. when a latent psionic starts doing shit like this, they aren't using their own juice, but getting juiced up by the jump space, and it is likely to devolve into violent shit, she's possessed
Benat wants to reneogtiate with the son of the latent psionic, so we have no earned hazard pay
We wish we had psi-detectors in order to know when exactly to shoot old yeller
At midnight on Day 5, Aiden shouts and gets cut off
He's been ragdolled and shes breaking shit and her head is lolling around and shit
We are gonna pause it here in the midst of this epic psi-fight
The Journal Entry’s title
27th of April
so a big Pariahan dog is trying to sniff us out, but we have no gas. We could probably successfully stealth out of sight of most of their ships, but there is a chance theres one of their advanced ships who catch us out. We are trying to juke them out before we go under cloak.
We decide to land on the planet to do a slurp slurp. Lucid spends her time keeping the holo shroud up around them and keeping an eye on the sensors. It takes two days to refill our ship. We actually manage not to get fucked by anyone while waiting to fuel up. and then we manage to get back to report in without our shit getting fucked.
"Xin Heinan got fucked!"
"Welp. time to put together our attack fleet"
We get paid 150K each for the information, and now we volunteer to be a ferry. they will pay us gas money plus 10%.
we will ferry additional troops behind their strike fleet to help hold Xin Heinan
The Nastiest Beats This Side of the Jred Frontier
We just fucked up the guy who fucked over Benat. Syncestraea gave us a nte of whats his face to be a mercenary band, as well as coordinates for a ship debris field from which we could repair the S.S. Good Times. We also picked up Illana, a Pariah turn coat.
We will want to avoid Pariah on our way there for sure. Also good to try and avoid Sol but it won't be completely unavoidable. Lucid is slowly becoming less and less welcome there.
Along the way, we are going to pass through Space China, Space India etc.
Lucid decides she's going to start making music, just the nastiest psi-core music. You know white noise? brown noise? She's attempting to make Ultra-Violet noise.
Lucid asks Ilana to contribute, but she had too many music lessons as a young person, so she can't really growl or anything like that. She has an okay Blood curdling scream. She's something of a mezzo-soprano.
Peter brokers us a contract to bring a sycestraea diplomat to Space China Capital.
Diplomat is well dressed, but not obnoxiously fancy, fuckable androgynous cyberpunk, similar to Jack from Mass Effect. Their name is Aran Abello. They are a local city commissioner who wants to do a sister city program
Lucid's music is a turn off for Aran, but Benat suggests a change in genre, which inadvertently makes him into Lucid's best wing man. The hook up happens on day 3, and Lucid makes Day 4 fairly awkward.
There is something about Aran/the encounter with Aran that Lucid is failing to notice.
Peter has a strict "no drinks on the bridge" policy, because of the time Lucid spilled a mtn dew on the console, and the buttons never clicked and clacked the same after that.
We each pay 52,500 per person for fuel
4 days to get to Ziu Liang, and 3 days there.
On Ziu Liang Lucid finds an open mic and performs some of her new music. She uses the gig fee to buy drinks for everyone in the club.
The club she is playing at is absolutely the crustiest little diy bar. Like beyond the normal level of sticky bar floor, you have to double knot your shoe laces to keep them on.
Rock Me Amadeus is one of her inspirations
We get paid 51,835 for delivering Aran to Ziu Liang (Having deducted the gas and repairs for the jump to Ziu Liang)
I turn my performance into a Carouse, there is cargo on a nearby planet that needs to be "liberated" the pay check is high, but it's a crime. So we might pass on the criming. So Lucid gets called a poser for not wanting to do crimes, even tho shes working for work at Crimes R Us
Peter does some Brokering and finds us a "Rescue Op" a mid level official has gone missing near the borser, maybe kidnapped by Pariah while working in Xin Heinan. If we can make as much as 1.2 million, depending on what condition they are in and whether or not they were actually abducted.
2 Days to Guang Dong, then a Week to Xin Heinan
We all have to pay 26,250 for gas
We are going to be stealthy hopping into Xin Heinan. It is eerily quiet here.
Let's run a sensor sweep. Lucid feels to be sneaky about it. Spaceport was under bombardment. Lucoid gets return pings from the other side of the planet. They are low power and distinctly pariahn in nature. We ask Illana to take a look at the return pings. She cannot confirm that it is pariahn or not. Especially as she is not a sensor operator
15 minutes later we get a message saying the system is under occupation and to prepare for inspection. let's GTFO. Except we have no gas and we need some time to plot our approach.
We have homework of reading up on space combat rules.
The Journal Entry’s title
I spend a good amount of time with Dora's guy and buildig my robit.
Also i try and fail to learn how to surf, it was really bad. coughing sea water out of her nose.
We debate ways to lure out Gravol, starting with the idea of a morale concert, end up switching to a burlesque type honeypot show. She will have Aiden and Benat there to look out for her, as well as a gun drone in the closet.
Benat took 4 days to make contact with a CPLF guy, while Aiden and I organize our way to a burlesque show.
Wenat, Peter in a fake beard, and Aiden go to meet with the contact
I can spell Syncaestraea better than Peter
We jump to the ritzy lovely NC port, in line with hundreds and thousands of other ships. A single bead of sweat is visible on Peter's face as he navigates the parking lot. Klaxon rings at one point when Peter has slipped out of the lane. The spanish bureaucracy is fully automated and functions like a beauty. Its very nice, reminiscent of Luna, but not run by a dictatorship
Benat responds to a text on his Nokia. He tells us that if he goes to Wahaka he can let Arkip bunk with the rents. Benat is invited to dinner by a recently promoted Admiral Ianara. party is on the moon Al Bracht.
"If you know one thing about me... I love a Soiree"
We spend the two days required to clean out the cargo hold of cat litter.
The dress I chose for this evening was referred to as a "Shamwow" by Benat. of course. There are only two other guests at the table. We are kissed politely as greeting, which does startle Lucid moderately.
Peter starts talking about "Journay to the West" and Nova Calvinism and Soddom and Gomorrah.
"I was always worried about getting left behind next Friday.
Captain Dora begins to hint at offering a job. shes a partyina ai placed inside of a robot and asks her very probing questions about nerves and strain.
Lucid is very happy to munch on churros.
Lucid learns Benat's last name for the first time. This is going to be related to a dude from his past. there is a civil war that syncestraea is not supposed to involve themselves in. the planet the civil war has occured on has closed their ports to synceaestraea. Galval has a mole placed among the syncaestraeans that requires the use of us outsiders.
Lucid also lands the phone number of Dora's robot body guy. we are also offered help acquiring a letter of Mark, or the opportunity to join the galactic mercenary guild.
They want us to kill that guy. Dora also passes over a cool plasma rifle as hand gun.
After negotiations are complete, the dinner lasts another 3 or so hours, exchanging stories and drinking coffee nd beer
then we go meet Benat's family, and Lucid gets to pet the space cow Elisabeta, she is very soft and lovely.
CAT-ASTROPHIC HAUL
jumping from Pandya to Babur, it's a lot smoggier here.
I overhear a lucrative opportunity in a scummier bar, the local government (Aseni Republic of Vega) has misplaced some crates in a local asteroid belt where there was a training base. Benat nudges a little more and learns that the ship disappeared on it's way to a larger military training base, and they have a last known location
What is the cargo? millitary supplies, do we need a fence? they might be pleased we stole from the aseni republic of vega.
it takes us 3 days to get to the belt, I do get a return ping on my sensor reading, giving us a direction to head in (a bearing) it's been burning at a solid 1g ever since it went missing, after taking a space "left", it was initially going against the orbit of the belt, but has fallen into the asteroid belt's natural orbit.
We pursue this bearing for another 6 hours, fail, another 6 hours, and now I have a location and trajectory, it appears to be heading away from us at an unchanged buring rate, about 8 hours away.
after we reach out to offer assistance they respond "assistance not required, please leave"
They are in a solar sailor, it won't have a ton of weaponry, we would out gun them, but they seem to have installed an aftermarket m drive. We can totally bully them. we considered turning them in for treason, kinda wanna trail them, but our stealth systems are fuel hogs
we follow for another 12 hours, as they approach another large asteroid in the system, which does have laser pistols. so we peel away. we don't really have a reason to fuck shit up, and don't need our shit fucked.
at this point 2 weeks have passed, and we need to spend some time gassing up we pay 50k for gas, and jump to xin heinan get another study week
lots of active terraforming, they've been trying to rehab this planet for about 500 thousand years, after an early butchered exploration, mis-jump. This planet could be described as a bit of a "fixer upper"
i specifically spread along the "juicy" rumor here. we find a job doing cat delivery here on xin heinen we spend like 9 days here?
We jump to Xin guangdong and pick up 5 to 6 hundred cats. there really arent any other job opportunities here. Peter was able to get a government job delivering a diplomatic missive.
We need to make three animal rolls to successfully hendle the animals. none of us know much abouit animals. Peter does one roll, and Benat does the other two, and does them quite poorly.
All the cats go loose!! Benat loses a study period having to track them down and patch them up. Lucid is making some "The DoDo" quality video. Benat is cursing at the cats in syncestraean. the content does not go over well, keyboard warriors abound. a cat eats some of Aidans psy suppressants. these two cats have become telepathically linked, so benat needs to try and medic them better. they'll be fine.
we just open the cargo bay doors and the cats run out. we are all covered in cat scratches.
and then we travel back to guangdong.
Shmooze-a-rama
Benat sees a familiar ship pull in, syncestrean stealth ship or something.
Lucid orders a concoction of an "americano" and finds it to actually be made as a latte, asks to have it fixed, but realizes it's actually her childhood best friend Lyle! Hes brokering for his dad's family now. She learns that her little sister is linging up to take Dad's council seat, and she is visibly disturbed by it. But she works to make herself interesting enough to be a fascination to him. She knows that where she thrives best is as a clown.
She works to reestablish her rapport with Lyle, so gives him some help in picking out his outfit for the soiree. Charming him, so that he agrees to try and mine some information about the syncestreans in attendance with Lucid.
Lucid is wearing a jumpsuit with a train, that is decorated with fiber optics
Aidan wears a locally purchased opulent suit, but failed to acquire a pocket square, so Lucid provides one for him and folds it nicely
12 groups of people,
the syncestraeans - the big gal is a captain, there is Partian AI in the ships. (Benat knows that she IS a partian AI!!!)
Lyle and his posse
Deepak Kang- outfit is a cross of late 18th century high royalty, smashed with current haute couture bullshit, his hair is in a circular halo shape hanging off the back of his head. when lyle finally introduces her, she kind of embarrasses herself.
Countess Asma in a ballgown

Signal seems to be discombobulated by an un-updated software
I caroused up a pilot named Ashvari maybe?
DRESSED A COWBOY MESS
at the auction house, with the "nice refreshments"
We are serving major cowboy vibes, but we've completely missed the mark, because the actual vibe is ARMED TO THE GILLS
Jigarthanda beverage drink
WE STAY IN A GIANT MANSION...... BUT AT WHAT COST???
Given That You're Saying Combat
We're doing a fake sting on Blood Rat Blade, and take his products as "evidence" while being spied on by some Martian Marines or whatever.
Lucid might be a little distracted by the scary summonings she has thus far ignored from mom and dad.
Dad= Ludibrium Thursday
Mom= Heiress Thursday née Elyria
Contraband = 1 Basilisk War Frame, 2 Crates Type 622 'Killer Eye' Gun Drones (approx. 24), 2 crates Type 62 Individual Plasma Weapon (approximately 60) (basically souped up plasma rifles with fancy attachments)
Peter tells some good lines, and impresses the Martian Marine Types, very convincing arrest
Lucid makes up some pretend documents to get us past this point
And then Lucid is really happy to fake her death, is already plotting a change of name.
Rolled a 10 to namedrop Dad. Blech, yucky, but it meant we didn't have take apart the warframe.
We've arrived at Cygnus now tho, phew
Moon-Glag
Family sent coordinates to genymede (Moon-glag)... very threatening, and I looked them up and found out that mom got a promotion, and dad got shuffled into state defense.
I am now a preliminar member of the Guild
Our plan for picking up the goods from Blood Rat is making like it's a sting operation, and we are delivering him to "You Know Who" for interrogation.
Today's Episode
"You know I could say something, but it has just as much of an effect as not"
Earth is still hunted, some of the red spots move (cause of life forms)
Parent's sent me coordinates to Ganymede, asking me to meet them there. (Space Gulag)
So I deleted the message, because that sounds like a problem for Later Lucid
I also dumped all of the nasty R34 esque messages into my homegrown LLM, with the intention to create the most vile chat bot possible
Getting Recognized at the Turkish Cafe?!?!?!
*A montage of Lucid Thursday, now with her new dark purple hair, and muted wardrobe choices. She is seen looking wistfully out the window as stars blink past, sweeping morosely through the peeling golden walls of the Venator, and removing her tear stained makeup*
"Hey guys, you've probably noticed that I haven't been online much anymore. I've been going through a bit of a brand-identity crisis"
"But today we get to spy on my coworker as he goes on a date with a previous fling"
Lucid, (as DrrtyThursday of course) is seen applying a disguise of some sort.
"I've been mostly spending my time reading, studying... researching..."
"Now my transformation is complete, you shall henceforth know me as.... SnEaKyThUrSdAy"
Lucid is now seen seated in a cafe, wearing sunglasses indoors
"This date is super lame, they're just talking about work. And this coffee I ordered is waaayyy too strong"
The coffee is a very very pale tan color. Lucid frowns as she stirs another packet of sugar into the coffee. Suddenly she looks up, having been distracted from her mission.
"Peter just left her to finish her lunch alone? what a dick."
Lucid is seen rushing out of the cafe quite clumsily. She is now seen stalking Peter as he crosses town, almost getting hit by a car at least once as she jay walks.
"A second lunch Peter? really? what are we, Plutonian?"
voices in the distance are captioned on screen in pink and red comic sans.
"you mightve seen mumble mumble ambassador"
"Pretty impressive mumble mumble some stream hacker just got busted for weapons trafficking. don't you have a stream hacker on your crew?"
"That streamer is crazy! she's been underground for months!" Lucid shouts, lowering her newspaper. We can see a figure approaching her from behind. The camera falls and goes black.
"My... my knee pits? You recognized me by my knee pits?"
"You... have a freckle..."
Thus begins an impromptu meet up, where Aidan keeps knocking and destroying cameras from admirers. Lucid is having a good time, but is becoming increasingly aware of her compromised anonymity. I make 150000 Credits.
There is a discussion of burning off the identifying freckle, facial modification, the acquisition of pants, etc etc
Returning from ZOOZVE
We have no idea if we are being tracked
"Oh shit- was that my job?" -Lucid
"The Union of Sol shouldn't give you much guff, unless there is specifically a Union of Sol official who is gunning for you." -James
"Someone remind me to dye my hair tonight" - Lucid
Now we arrive at Sar-dookie-ah
theres one called UREA
Cringefailed
Aidan and Benat have gone into the facility, accompanied by two flying guns and Astrid (for 10,000 credits, which I've taken out of Lucid's Account)
three teams roving the hallways, groups of five, meaning there are five combatants who are unaccounted for
"MIL ENCRYP SUITS" sticky note on monitor
two of my flying guns got fragged to shit
WE RAN AWAY AFTER KILLING THREE OF THEM
it has been revealed that part of why lucid ran away is an arranged marriage to a cousin
Peter: give yourself another study week I think?
We lost two of the researchers
Portable Plasma Gun, Human Portable, and Battle Dress
it can do 1 d6 times 10
This was a planned attack, almost certainly orchestrated by Opus Dei, the level of armaments is not unprecedented for them, but not particularly common
Lost in the VOID
We misjumped, and barfed all over the fucking place
Benat apparently did some kind of foolish self sacrificing bullshit, but somehow survived.
At least Peter got a week of studying in during the jump
ACOSTED by the BLACK HAND
We are accosted by the black hand as we leave Greg's World
after Peter just fucking hangs up on the Black Hand who is trying to hold us up, we consult Miku for the best course of action. She analyzes the available data on the opposing ship and our own ship's capabilities, and recommends Running The Fuck Away. Peter cheers because his suggested strategy was to evade and run the fuck away.
Astrid is finally doing what her ACTUAL job is, and looks great doing it.
and Hatsune Miku does indeed fuck shit up, playing musical selections such as The Chicken Dance, Spanish Flea, and the Paw Patrol theme. She also forcibly explains and reccomends homeopathic remedies to the crew, annoying one individual to the point of self spacing sudoku.
Finally we skedaddle away and misjump to safety (?)
The Journal Entry’s title
Begin writing your story here...
PASTIEST and SPICIEST Restaurant Ever!!!
We failed to find a fence for the bio-implants, so spectacularly so that Benat was arrested.
Lucid goes on a date with one of the customs agents in bribing for Benat's freedom
The date is awkward, but suitable, Astrid and Peter serving as chaperones.
The food is paste that they add seasoning to? and spread on bread. It was 1,000 credits a head.
Benat is released in return for the date and 40,000 credits, and he appreciates the doggy bag
we have still failed to sell our implants
The influencer discount was so measly it might as well have been an insult. 2 stars
Astrid found someone to sell our other medical supplies to, and we all took home 50,000 credits
MASSIVE COMPUTER HAUL
purchased over 300,000 Credits worth of drone swords and guns!
And then spent 22,850 credits worth of a laptop
It has a decryptor level one, and expert packages advocate and tactics for naval miku
I also bought a sarcastic mirror and a ring laser
